Changing Drum Heads Regularly Improves Sound

When was the last time you changed your drum heads?

We sometimes get so focused on our technique and gig schedule that we forget about the sound of our drums.

Changing heads regularly will make a world of difference. The frequency with which we need to change heads will vary depending on how often we play the drums and how hard we hit them. The more regular the gigs and the harder we hit our drums means the more often we will need to change our drum heads.

Obvious, but not always obvious.

Look out for tomorrow's entry which is all about getting maximum resonance and best sound from, your toms.

Until tomorrow ...
